Employees in the Fort Lauderdale city clerk’s office are complaining that their boss, City Clerk Jonda Joseph, bullies them. They say she’s frequently either yelling at them or belittling them, and that she’s “disorganized, inefficient, absent-minded.”

Mayor Jack Seiler asked the city attorney’s office to investigate the complaints and he plans to discuss the matter at Tuesday’s commission meeting. The clerk reports directly to the commission.

The criticisms are very similar to ones made almost 20 years ago against Joseph when she was city clerk in Coral Springs.
